If you are dying to drive it, you should be able adjust your driving style to minimize high rpm deceleration and the popping and flame-throwing. I've been where you are....you want to drive the car but this really needs to be addressed. I bit the bullet and installed the flanges a couple weeks after it started, knowing well that the slip-fits were not a workable solution. Its no trivial effort...it requires the properly cut flanges, a good welder and some help ensuring proper alignment of the pipes to the body once they are done. I would definitely suggest getting help from someone who has done this type of work unless you have done some welding and fabricating yourself.
